Abstract

Objective This study aims to give information about the relationship between different types of factor deficiencies and maternal/obstetric outcomes.

Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of eight women with factor deficiency disorders. The demographic and clinical features of the patients after their last pregnancies were registered retrospectively.

Results There were 29 pregnancies among the 8 patients. The spontaneous abortion rate was relatively high in two patients with factor XIII deficiency (80% and 57.1%) compared with the other factor deficiency groups. There were 16 births, which included 1 set of twins, and 2 deaths (1 stillbirth and 1 postpartum exitus occurred in the same patient). Intrauterine growth restriction was noted in five cases; four of these occurred in factor X deficiency cases. The mean decrease in hemoglobin level of all patients after birth was 1.7 g/dL (range, 0.2–3.6 g/dL). Red blood cell transfusion was required only in one case of factor XIII deficiency.

Conclusions There is currently no consensus on the pregnancy management of women with factor deficiencies because of the limited knowledge due to the rarity of such disorders. Labor should be managed in a dedicated unit with a team consisting of an obstetrician, a hematologist, an anesthesiologist, a midwife, and a pediatrician to minimalize the complications.

Resumo

Objetivo O presente estudo objetiva fornecer informações sobre a relação entre diferentes tipos de deficiências de fator e resultados obstétricos e maternais.

Métodos Análise retrospectiva de registros médicos de oito mulheres com deficiências de fator. Dados demográficos e clínicos das pacientes após sua última gestação foram obtidos.

Resultados Vinte e nove gestações ocorreram entre as oito pacientes. As taxas de abortos espontâneos foram relativamente altas em duas pacientes com deficiência de fator XIII (80% e 57,1%) se comparadas aos demais grupos de deficiências de fator. Ocorreram dezesseis nascimentos, sendo que um deles foi o de um par de gêmeos, e dois óbitos (um natimorto e um pós-parto na mesma paciente). Restrição de crescimento intrauterino foi identificada em cinco casos, sendo quatro destes com deficiência de fator X. A principal baixa em nível de hemoglobina entre todas as pacientes após o parto foi de 1,7 g/dL (variação, 0,2–3,6 g/dL). Transfusão de hemácias foi necessária apenas em um caso com deficiência de fator XIII.

Conclusão Não há consenso atualmente para o manejo de gestantes com deficiências de fator em função do conhecimento limitado, dada a raridade de tais condições. O parto deve ocorrer em uma unidade específica com uma equipe composta de obstetra, hematologista, anestesista, parteira, e pediatra para minimizar as complicações.
